MapTool 1.13.0 Release Candidate 1

[cwisniew]

MapTool v1.13.0 Beta 2 Pre Release

Read Me First

Before uninstalling any previous version, if you have saved your campaign files, logs, or anything else you want to keep under the directory structure where MapTool is installed, please copy them elsewhere beforehand. It is also a good idea to always have backups.

Note: Do not install over the top of an old version, either install into a new directory or uninstall the old version first. If you have installed a previous version of 1.12.0, uninstall that first.

Highlights

• Added new Theme.
• Icon fixes for themes.
• Improvements to Lights.
• Tokens now support HTML and Markdown Notes.
• Bug fixes for image transfers sometimes getting "stuck".
• Path Finding performance improvements.
• Lots of code refactorization to make things easier in the future.
